The Court may allow the withdrawal of pending bail applications and discharge the notice once permission is granted.
Summary
The applicant, Rajubhai Merambhai Karpada, filed multiple regular bail applications before the charge-sheet was filed.

The respondent, State of Gujarat, was represented by the Public Prosecutor and counsel. The High Court examined whether it could allow the withdrawal of pending bail applications after a charge-sheet is filed. The Court granted permission to withdraw, discharged the notice, and disposed of the applications as withdrawn.
